You will find that 'tst-fork1' is an intermittent failure dealing with
a race condition in our kernel, we know the problem, we just don't
know how to fix it properly. The test-float failures are fixed by the
silent-nan fixes Joel Soete fixed in gcc. I don't know why the
tst-cond17 / tst-cond18 tests failed.

Good luck! :-)
